Heat box question
On my 73, I have factory air and as such the heat box in the engine bay is a mammoth. Does anyone know if I go to heat only if the box would be smaller? Or , are there any aftermarket products that reduce the size?

My ears were burning 
Here is a link to my build thread with pics and info:

Haven't installed the Nostalgic Air unit yet, but will be tackling that hopefully within 2 or 3 weeks after I finish getting the steering and brakes finished up.

Just one interesting tidbit: Before I installed the plate I was easily able to install headers on the passenger side for a test fit. Later, when I had the plate installed I needed to jack up the motor and remove the motor mount to install the same headers.
For the plate fabrication, I just created a template using cardboard traced from the factory AC housing and once I was happy with the fit transferred to sheet metal. I used a 3M sealant, but got an idea on the forums here to just use Dynamat or Fatmat on the inside of the plate to create the seal.
